Where it all began...The Frank Toolroll

Where it all began...The Frank Toolroll

The Frank Toolroll  is where Tinker and Fix began - with Edd wanting to copy his grandpa's (Frank) toolroll after it has been passed down to him. 

The Frank is our own product, designed by Edd and made in England with British fabric and fixings. It's what we call the 'goldilocks' size as it fits just enough tools in to make it useful to have in the house or for carrying around in the car - which makes it particularly useful if you drive an old, classic or restored car (which may or may not need a bit of roadside assistance!)

Made from waxed cotton fabric, The Frank Toolroll will gain patina with age and use. We know that some people (notably classic car owners) have different Frank Toolrolls for their different cars - to make sure they have the right metric, imperial or Whitworth spanners to hand (as we also sell them filled with King Dick tools - and they still make all three types of spanner in the UK). 

We are delighted that the Frank Toolroll has received some great press over the years - featuring in a huge range of magazine from 'Country Life' and 'Country Living' - to a range of car magazines from ‘Octane’ to ‘Mini World’.  We are always genuinely thrilled when newspapers and magazines feature things from Tinker and Fix - as we are a small independent company (actually we're just a husband and wife team - we do everything ourselves). So it's an exciting moment when we see ourselves 'in print'.

The Tool Roll is available in Khaki or Maroon either unfilled (£34.95), or filled with King Dick tools (£99.95)
